HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS FINAL PROJECT
Objective:
Your objective is to prepare a PowerPoint presentation, a body systems drawing, AND a 3D model to educate
your classmates about one of the body systems that makes up the human body. You will work in teams of 3 or 4
and will be assigned one of the following body systems to research:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Circulatory System
Digestive System
Excretory System
Endocrine System
5.
6.
7.
8.
Muscular System
Nervous System
Respiratory System
Skeletal System
Outline:
Part A:
Students will create a PowerPoint that covers the organs in one system of the body.
Each slide in the PowerPoint will highlight one organ and its purpose and functions and identify cells
•
and tissues within at least one organ in the system.
The slides will be sequentially organized to show how the whole system works together.
•
Students will plan, create and present PPT presentation on the human body system to class
•
Part B:
Students will create an outline poster of a human body and include all the organs within one system of the body.
•
Students will illustrate each body system and organs.
•
Students will include the purpose and functions of each organ in the body system and identify cells and
tissues within at least one organ in the system.
•
Students will plan, create, and present outline poster on the human body system to class.
Part C:
Students will create a 3-D model of the human body outline and the organs within one system of the body.
Each organ will be labeled and include an explanation of its function.
•
A list of cell types and tissues within one organ of the system will be identified.
•
Students will plan, create, and present 3-D Model on the human body system to class
•
Research
Your textbook and the following websites will be a good start to your research:
 www.stcms.si.edu/hbs/hbs_student.htm
